Allentown, PA (April 19, 2005) - Students, faculty and staff invite the community
to celebrate Earth Day on the Cedar Crest College campus with a variety of
activities and presentations. Activities will begin at 1:00 p.m. and will continue
until 5:30 p.m. on Friday, April 22, 2005.

“The theme of this year’s global celebration of Earth Day is ‘Protect
Our Children and Our Future’ so we have a lot of activities geared towards
the young people in our community,” says Dr. Amy Faivre, assistant professor
of biological sciences at Cedar Crest. “It is crucial to engage and educate
our children about the importance of protecting the Earth and its resources
for the future. We want kids to know that they can make a difference too.”

In addition to day-long activities like face painting, tie-dying Earth Day
t-shirts and making sun prints, the celebration will also include plays, a
demonstration of making paper from recycled materials and live animal presentations
from the Lehigh Valley Zoo, Lehigh Wildcare, and Wildlands Conservancy.
